Overview

Cape Le Grand is a kitesurf spot located in Cape Le Grand National Park, near Esperance, in Western Australia. This national park is home to some of Australia's most beautiful beaches, with pristine white sand and crystal-clear turquoise waters. Beaches like Lucky Bay and Hellfire Bay are spectacular. The prevailing south to south-east winds blow on this exposed coast. Conditions are wild and powerful, suited to advanced riders. The beauty of the natural setting is exceptional but the spot's isolation demands caution. Access is via the national park road (paid entry). There are no facilities in the park. Warning: very isolated spot, no phone coverage, and rescue services are far away. Never ride alone.
